About “The Racecougar”

Where to begin...well, the only stock parts left on this particular car are the body shell, front K-member, trunk lid, doors, and the steering wheel. Take a look at my photos and the modifications list to get an idea on what all has been done to this car. The firewall from a '97 Thunderbird was grafted in (after the car had already been painted, no less) to fit the '97 Thunderbird dash. The roof has an extra brace to accommodate the overhead console/switch panel. The engine started out as a N.O.S. '94 Mark 8 engine purchased from a dismantler in Detroit, which was then stroked to 5.0L with forged internals. A 2.1L Kenne Bell twin-screw supercharger stuffs 10 p.s.i. into the intake runners, and a Snow Performance methanol injection system supplements the 93 octane fuel when under boost to keep detonation at bay.

The car tips the scales at 3602 lbs. with a full tank of gas, is making 478rwhp/390rwtq, and has run a best E.T. of 12.179 @ 113.58 MPH so far.

Here is a video from a 12.4 pass at Gateway Int'l Raceway last season. The car has picked up another 87hp/18tq since then.http://www.mo...0-26-10-4291/

About “The Deuce Forty”

I have been looking for another car for really cheap...a gas saver if you will. Well I wasnt having any luck finding one. So here I am at a friends house, we are on the back porch smoking a hookah and drinking a little. I looked at my friend and told him I wanted an S2K (S2000) He said no you dont...get a 240, I said i needed a car for a few hundred dollars, and another one of my friends was like actually i know where there is a 240 for sale for a few hundred...He texted him and told me that he wanted $250 for the car. I was like SWEET! he said it needs a motor though, i was like I dont care...so here I am with a Deuce Forty...But believe me the color will change, no questions asked!

Well....yeah, I scrapped the Deuce :( I hated to do it but i lost interest in the whole idea of a drift car. And believe me it killed me to see them pick it up off the back of the flat bed and drop it.
